The web page that you point to summarizes it differently:
  - Tier 1 is "guaranteed to work".
  - Tier 2 is "guaranteed to build" and "often works".
  - Tier 3 is best effort.

And that is not very different from Gnulib's target platform policies [1].
arm-linux-androideabi, i686-unknown-haiku, powerpc64-ibm-aix,
m68k-unknown-linux-gnu are also "best effort" for Gnulib.

Therefore the list of platform support is not deterring me from Rust.
